Beach Boy Dresser

This dresser had some obvious flaws when I started.  Most of the drawers were chipped and the overall appearance was riddled with nicks and scratches.  It cleaned up well with a bit of sanding but the chips weren't magically going to repair themselves, so I thought I'd work with that and make it more of a beach theme dresser.  The one blue knob was not intended but brought about by lack of time.  We were actually selling Zachie's old dresser when my husband spoke up and said we have other dressers.  This one sold.  It wasn't completed so I had a day to finish it up.  One knob was missing and this is all I could find in a short amount of time.  I think I would have liked the top drawers to be bordered as well but this is what was requested.




















The color is Sherwin Williams Regatta, although I had it changed a bit so it is a variation on Regatta.  The light blue is Behr Clam Water.  The top is stained with Minwax English Chestnut.  Everything is sealed with Minwax Wipe-On Poly.

About Me

Growing up we never realized that we could make or change our furniture. Now that we are old and grown..ha..we realized that you can do anything you want to do. We like finding an old battered piece of furniture and seeing what we can make of it. We find joy in the journey and love seeing our pieces go to someone who loves them. Our house is slowly changing to whatever we want it to be and we are loving seeing the transformation.
